DUBLIN, Jan. 28, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --
The "Aerospace Plastics Market by Polymer Type, Aircraft Type, Application, and Region - Global Forecast to 2023" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
In terms of volume, the aerospace plastics market is projected to grow from 6,903.5 tons in 2018 to 9,458.4 tons by 2023, at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2018 to 2023. In terms of value, the market is projected to grow from USD 14.70 billion in 2018 to USD 20.73 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 7.1% during the forecast period.
Aircraft manufacturers are concentrating on lightweight and advanced design & processing solutions for the manufacture of interior and exterior structures of new generation commercial transport aircraft.
Various interior and exterior aerospace parts manufactured with the use of plastics help reduce weight, increase fuel efficiency, and thus help decrease greenhouse gas emissions. Aerospace plastics have been replacing heavy metal components in aircraft mainly due to the material being lightweight.
The introduction of Low-cost Carriers (LCC) and increase in air passenger traffic owing to rise in disposable incomes of middle-class populations are expected to drive the airline industry, and subsequently, demand for aerospace plastics, especially in the Asia Pacific during the forecast period. Recyclability issues and the high cost of aerospace plastics are the major restraining factors in this market.
Entry barriers are high in the aerospace plastics market, which is highly capital intensive. Existing players have a strong foothold in the market. Owing to the exceptional properties of aerospace plastics, such as stiffness, strength, tenacity, density, thermal conductivity, and fatigue and corrosion resistance, they are superior to traditional metals.
As a result, the threat of substitutes is low. The bargaining power of buyers in the aerospace plastics market is moderate to high as original equipment manufacturers have specific testing and selection criteria. In this market, raw material suppliers have moderate bargaining power. These suppliers have a high amount of technical expertise, high capital investment, strong brand image, and a good foothold in the aerospace plastics market. In addition, differentiation is very low in the raw material of aerospace plastics, which further decreases the supplier bargaining power.
